Law Schools Could House New Business Courts

Texas law schools are being considered as possible locations for a new system of business courts created earlier this year by the Legislature and set to begin operating next September. The Supreme Court of Texas is addressing logistical and substantive issues as it writes rules for the 10 district courts and the first intermediate appellate court with statewide jurisdiction.

Texas A&M University School of Law in Fort Worth has expressed interest, said Chief Justice Nathan Hecht.
